Short transcript of a conversation about a hypothetical wearable-like device for the mouth (compared to an Oura Ring) that would continuously monitor oral health—teeth, gums, tongue and soft tissue—to detect deficiencies or early problems and enable earlier, less expensive treatment.
Think about aura ring for your mouth, right? One that's telling you about your teeth, your gums, your tongue and your soft tissue. You'll be amazed about the information that we could tell you from your. Just your tongue, right? Like in the thousands of years of Eastern medicine that talks about the tongue and what it's telling you about your. The way you eat.
And your.
Deficiencies. Things that we could tell you hopefully proactively about your teeth. Hey, there's something that could be going on here. We might want to get it checked. So instead of that thing costing you $700, that treatment costing you $700 maybe cost you $100. Right.
The other thing that I've heard, I'm curious if you've heard this as well, is that it's not just mouth breathing at night that can be problematic, but if your mouth is open during the day, there's something about the drying of the airway. Let's say you're just like one of those people who every time you go to the gym, your mouth's just open the whole time. And you train yourself to not engage in nasal breathing. That could affect the bacterial composition or the enamel of the mouth somehow. If you're constantly mouth breeding.
